Next week, I’m releasing Episode 300! Mike Janda interviews me on that Episode, so make sure to tune in!įinally, I have a new free course available right now on How to Become Profitable as an Artist. That’s really inspiring! Glenn also talks about getting out of your comfort zone and getting past perfectionism as well as how to build and lead teams. One of the things I noticed was his outlook on opportunities. After watching this show, I had to get Glenn on the Podcast. So many of us stop once we hit that wall. I always say that failure is part of the process. It was about the failure that he’d endure all the time, but the perseverance showed how much committed he was. But the terms were that he couldn’t have his phone to call up his friends (to ask for investments), and he’d be dropped off in an unknown location with a new idea. The idea is that he’d have 90 days to build a business that’s valued at a million dollars. This is a testament that we all have that imposter syndrome. I started watching this show called Undercover Billionaire on which Glenn Stearns, who is really successful, decided to prove to himself that he could do it all over again. Welcome to Episode 299! I’m sitting down with Glenn Stearns from the show Undercover Billionaire. How to Get Other People Invested in Your VisionĮPISODE 299 - UNDERCOVER BILLIONAIRE - GLENN STEARNS

Glenn became the first person in his family to attend college and graduated with a degree in economics from Towson University. He took that life-changing encouragement and ran with it.
